USGIF, Bob my understanding is that by 27 January 2013
all operations at Galena will have fully trasitioned
to 24/7 schedule.

The hardrock miners previous schedule at Galena
was three 8 hour shifts/5 days per week
for 248 to 260 days per year
for about 5952-6240 hours/yr underground
vs. new schedule which will put miners underground
for 7200 hours/year.
Ex....
As Darren mentioned on the call,
the new schedule will add about 15%-20% to
mill throughput 2013 vs. 2012 by not only
having miners spend more time below ground
breaking rock, but also by reducing amount of time
wasted traveling back and forth to the stopes
(miners now take 2 trips back and forth
underground daily vs. 3 trips previously)
so the new schedule will result in miners
having more time every day on the open faces.
